N2  - American farmers are a specific population with specific health concerns, and there is little in the literature that addresses nursing care of farmers. The farmer needs to be educated and assessed for the potential of poisoning injury related to pesticide exposure. Studies done by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and others have shown a somewhat greater risk of specific cancers in farmers using pesticides. Acute exposures and chronic conditions resulting from years of exposure to pesticides are oftentimes not attributed to pesticides. By use of the nursing process, nurses can develop programs at all levels of prevention to deal with this problem. This article describes such programs, as well as providing resources useful in their development.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
